Columbia, MD 21046 Re: Extended Frequency Justification on FCC ID: AIERIT38-456 To whom it may concern: The RQX-456 two-way callbox radio is designed to operate in the frequency band 450-470 MHz. To aid equipment authorization in other countries within ITU regions 1, 2 or 3 which accept the United States FCC Grant for certification, Ritron is requesting that the FCC lists the frequencies 450-470 MHz under FCC Rule Parts 90 on the FCC Grant. This product is also intended for Federal end users. For the FCC’s Rule Part 90 applications, this radio is used in systems by OEM systems integrators as indicated in the table below. Equipment programming is the responsibility of Authorized Service Personnel. Also, the radio complies with 47 CFR Part 90.203(e) in that the operator cannot directly program the transmit frequencies using the normally accessible external controls. Per the FCC’s KDB634817 guidance, “as an alternative to listing the exact frequencies, we acknowledge that it’s a violation of the FCC Rules if this device operates on unauthorized frequencies.” Frequency Range (MHz) Part 90 Federal Customers/ Not Part 90 Grant Notes Emission Designator Part 90 450.0000 – 454.0000 x EF 11K0F3E 454.0000 – 456.0000 x EF 11K0F3E 456.0000 – 462.5375 x EF 11K0F3E 462.5375 – 462.7375 x EF 11K0F3E 462.7375 – 467.5375 x EF 11K0F3E 467.5375 – 467.7375 x EF 11K0F3E 467.7375 – 470.0000 x EF 11K0F3E Sincerely, Sam L.

MODELS: RQX-456, RQX-456-XT TYPE OF UNIT: UHF-FM Callbox 2-Way Radio FCC ID: AIERIT38-456 DATE: July 16, 2014 PROCEDURE: 1. The measurements for effective radiated power were taken at the RITRON, Inc. 3-meter test site, details of which are on file with the FCC. These measurements were via the substitution method. 2. The RQX-456 was aligned for transmitter operation on 3 frequencies represent the low, middle, and upper range of the desired operating band at the rated transmitter output power. 3. The RQX-456 was tested in each of the three configurations:  Installed in the basic enclosure, powered by 3 D-cell batteries for 700mW TX power, operating with the internal antenna etched on the PCB.  Installed in the basic enclosure, powered by 6 AA-cell batteries for 2W TX power, operating with the internal antenna etched on the PCB.  Installed in an XT enclosure, powered by 6 D-cell batteries for 1.5W TX power, terminated at the antenna port with the Ritron AFB-1545 antenna include with the product. (The user can connect other antennas, however.) 4. The ERP measurements were made with an Advantest R3265A Spectrum Analyzer and an Electro- Metrics LPA-25 log periodic antenna. 5. The height of the LPA-25 receiving antenna and orientation of the RQX-456 were varied to provide maximum field strength at the receiving antenna. 6. A calibrated ½-wave dipole antenna was substituted for the RQX-456 on the turntable 3 meters from the pick up antenna. An Agilent N5181A RF signal generator was set at the 3 frequencies representing the low, middle and upper range of the desired operating band with a 0 dBm output level. 7. The height of the LPA-25 receiving antenna was adjusted for maximum signal strength at the receiving antenna. The level at the field strength antenna was noted.

MODELS: RQX-456, RQX-456-XT TYPE OF UNIT: UHF-FM Callbox 2-Way Radio FCC ID: AIERIT38-456 DATE: July 16, 2014 CALCULATIONS: The substitution antenna is specified by the manufacturer in terms of antenna factor rather than antenna gain. The conversion is: Ga(dBd) = 20 log f (MHz) –AF (dB) -31.9 The effective radiated power can be calculated as: ERP(dBm) = Pr(dBm) - Pref(dBm) + Pgen(dBm) – Ga(dBd) Where:  Pr is the power level of the radio’s emission at the receiving antenna output.  Pgen is the RF signal generator level at the substitution antenna input.  Pref is the power level of the substitution antenna emission at the receiving antenna output.  Ga is the gain of the substitution antenna. The ERP is converted to Watts from dBm by: ERP(watts) = antilog((ERP(dBm) – 30)/10) Basic Enclosure, 3 D-cell batteries, Internal Etched Antenna, 700 mW Frequency Pr Pref Pgen Ga ERP ERP (MHz) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBd) (dBm) (watts) 451.025 2.56 -25.41 -1.59 0.56 25.82 0.38 460.025 -0.09 -25.78 -2.00 0.41 23.28 0.21 469.975 1.06 -25.88 -1.78 0.26 24.90 0.31 Basic Enclosure, 6 AA-cell batteries, Internal Etched Antenna, 2 W Frequency Pr Pref Pgen Ga ERP ERP (MHz) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBd) (dBm) (watts) 451.025 6.09 -25.41 -1.59 0.56 29.35 0.86 460.025 8.00 -25.78 -2.00 0.41 31.37 1.37 469.975 8.03 -25.88 -1.78 0.26 31.87 1.54 XT Enclosure, 6 D-cell batteries, AFB-1545 Antenna, 1.5 W Frequency Pr Pref Pgen Ga ERP ERP (MHz) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBd) (dBm) (watts) 451.025 7.31 -25.41 -1.59 0.56 30.57 1.14 460.025 8.69 -25.78 -2.00 0.41 32.06 1.61 469.975 8.63 -25.88 -1.78 0.26 32.47 1.77 Signed: Michael A.

MODELS: RQX-456, RQX-456-XT TYPE OF UNIT: UHF-FM Callbox 2-Way Radio FCC ID: AIERIT38-456 DATE: July 16, 2014 PROCEDURE AND EQUATIONS: The ERP values previously calculated will be used to determine the minimum safe distance from the antenna supplied by RITRON in order not to exceed the General Population/Uncontrolled Limits of RF exposure. The ERP must be converted to EIRP to simulate an isotropic radiator. Typical transmit duty cycles are between 5% and 10%. Over the 30 minute averaging period for General Population/Uncontrolled MPE limits, a 50% maximum duty cycle is reasonable, and will be used in the MPE calculations for this device. EIRP = 1.64 (ERP/2) For the RQX-456 w/AFB-1545: EIRP = 1.45 W Power density is related to EIRP: S(W/m 2 ) = EIRP(W)/4r 2 where r is the distance from the source in meters. Rearranging for distance: r = SQRT (EIRP/4S). The MPE limit for this device operating in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment is f(MHz)/1500 mW/ cm 2 . For this equation, mW/cm 2 must be converted to W/m 2 . Converting to W/m 2 , the FCC limit is f(MHz)/150 W/m 2 .

MODELS: RQX-456, RQX-456-XT TYPE OF UNIT: UHF-FM Callbox 2-Way Radio FCC ID: AIERIT38-456 DATE: July 16, 2014 PROCEDURE: 1. Power was supplied to the RQX-456 at P603 Battery Connector by a BK Precision 1630 power supply. 2. The RQX-456 was aligned for transmitter operation on 3 frequencies represent the low, middle, and upper range of the desired operating band for each of the three configurations listed below.  RQX-456 model installed in the basic enclosure, powered by 3 D-cell batteries for 700mW TX power, operating with the internal antenna etched on the PCB.  RQX-456 model installed in the basic enclosure, powered by 6 AA-cell batteries for 2W TX power, operating with the internal antenna etched on the PCB.  RQX-456-XT model installed in an XT enclosure, powered by 6 D-cell batteries, limited to 1.5W TX power, terminated at the antenna port with the Ritron AFB-1545 antenna include with the product. (The user can connect other antennas, however.) 3. The RQX-456 was tested in each of the three configurations. 4. The RQX-456 J201 SMB antenna connector was connected to an IFR COM-120A Test Set used to measure the RF carrier power. The input to the Test Set provides a resistive 50-ohm termination at the frequencies and power levels used for this test. The internal antenna etched on the PCB was disconnected. 5. A Fluke 179 multimeter was used to measure the I TX transmitter current that supplies the final RF amplifier. 6. Measurements were taken using frequencies at the low, middle, and upper range of the desired operating band at supply voltages representing fully charged batteries (number of cells x 1.5V) and EOL batteries (number of cells x 1.1V) 7. Power was supplied to the RQX-456 at P601 External Power Input by a BK Precision 1630 power supply set to 12 volts, the rated external input voltage. 8. Steps 3-5 were repeated.
